Custom Aluminum Extrusions Finishing Options
Custom Aluminum Extrusions Finishing Options offer a variety of surface treatments to enhance the appearance, durability, and functionality of your parts. From anodizing to powder coating, we ensure your extrusions meet both aesthetic and performance requirements.
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic mechanical finishing | Surface treatments such as buffing, bead blasting, and grinding are applied to refine the surface quality of aluminum extrusions, often in preparation for additional finishes. |
| Anodization | The high pressure of injection ensures liquid silicone fills every crevice of the mold before curing, providing better coverage than melted thermoplastics. |
| Painting | Painting is an effective method for changing the color and surface finish of an aluminum extrusion, whether a matte, gloss, or textured look is required. |
| Powder coating | Powder coating offers a great alternative to anodizing, providing excellent chemical resistance and a consistent color tone. |
| Silk-screen printing | Silk-screen printing is a cost-effective method for adding text and logos to aluminum extrusions, offering a simpler alternative to machine-based finishing techniques. |
| Laser engraving | Laser engraving adds durable details, such as text, to aluminum extrusions, ensuring they won’t fade or rub off. It’s ideal for important identifiers like serial numbers. |

Application of Custom Aluminum Extrusions
Custom aluminum extrusions are used across various industries due to their versatility, lightweight nature, and ability to be tailored to specific needs. Here are six key industries where custom aluminum extrusions play a critical role:
Aerospace
Custom aluminum extrusions are essential in aerospace applications due to their strength-to-weight ratio. They are used for structural components, frames, and engine parts, providing durability while minimizing weight.
Automotive
In the automotive industry, aluminum extrusions are used for lightweight structural components, trim, and chassis parts, helping to improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle weight without compromising safety.
Construction
Aluminum extrusions in construction are used for window frames, curtain walls, and structural supports. Their weather resistance and strength make them ideal for both residential and commercial buildings.
Electronics
Custom aluminum extrusions provide enclosures for electronic devices, heat sinks, and connectors. The metal’s excellent thermal conductivity ensures that heat dissipation is managed effectively in sensitive equipment.
Medical Devices
In the medical industry, precision aluminum extrusions are used for components in imaging systems, surgical tools, and patient monitoring equipment, offering strength and resistance to corrosion.
Renewable Energy
Aluminum extrusions are used in solar panel frames and components for wind turbines, providing durability and resistance to the elements, contributing to the efficiency and longevity of renewable energy systems.
Alternatives to Custom Aluminum Extrusions
Custom aluminum extrusions aren’t always the ideal fit—here are 3 alternative options worth considering:
When custom aluminum extrusion isn’t cost-effective or timely, CNC machining offers a great alternative for low-volume, intricate profiles.
For simpler shapes, laser cutting combined with sheet metal bending allows for precise features and quick turnaround.
